Product Description

Whitfords Beach Canvas — Perth, Western Australia

On Perth's northern coastline near Hillarys, Whitfords Beach keeps things simple — clean white sand, clear Indian Ocean water and room to breathe. This aerial photograph captures it from above, with the shallows glowing over sandbars beneath that hard west-coast light.

Whitfords is the kind of beach that rewards actually looking. Quieter than its famous neighbours, it sits along the northern run where the sandbars turn the shallows into bands of luminous green you would usually drive a lot further to find — and most of the city drives straight past it.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Perth-based aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The drone's 100MP Hasselblad camera records the fine detail — sand ripples visible right through the surface, water gradients, the clean line of the shore — keeping every print size sharp and true.

Quiet coastal light

The fresh, restrained palette suits living rooms, bedrooms and offices, and works particularly well in homes that want the coast present without a loud, saturated image dominating the room.

For the northern-suburbs community whose mornings, swims and sunsets happen on this stretch, it's the everyday beach elevated to something worth framing.

Available as a fine art paper print or stretched canvas, with black, oak and white framing options across a full range of sizes. Every artwork in the Matthew Philip collection comes from his own aerial photographs of beaches he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

Whitfords is the kind of beach that rewards actually looking. Most of Perth drives straight past it on the way to somewhere more famous, and on a still morning the sandbars turn the shallows into bands of glowing green you would usually travel a lot further to find.

I launched from the dunes and worked the shoreline until the light and the sandbar patterns lined up. This frame is that moment.

The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro holds the ripple detail right through the surface. The northern suburbs know exactly how good their coastline is — frames like this are for the walls of everyone who grew up on it.

Frequently asked questions

All canvas prints on this site are made to order—I print each one specifically for you using museum-quality materials, which means a 3–4 week production and delivery window within Australia. This isn't a warehouse clearance; it's a custom-made product crafted to last decades. If you're ordering before a specific date, get in touch and I can often prioritize your print. Free shipping applies Australia-wide, and you'll receive tracking so you know exactly when your piece is arriving.

Paper and poster prints ship much faster—typically 1-2 business days to anywhere in the world, with free international shipping included. If you need your aerial photography print urgently, this is the best option. The paper is archival-grade (same fade-resistant, professional-quality stock I use in gallery prints), so despite the quicker turnaround, you're not compromising on longevity.

Canvas prints ship ready to hang with your choice of frame style at checkout: black, white, or natural oak. Each frame is specifically designed to complement the composition of the aerial photography and arrives attached and ready to display. If you prefer an unframed print, that's available too—giving you the flexibility to source custom framing locally or match existing décor. Paper prints come unframed but can be ordered with frame recommendations included in your package.

Canvas prints are stretched across 390gsm acid-free poly-cotton matte canvas—the same archival-quality material used by professional galleries and museums for fine art. The inks are fade-resistant and non-toxic, rated for 100+ years without noticeable color shift when kept out of direct sunlight. Paper prints come in three finishes: matte (museum-grade), semi-gloss (vibrant), or fine art paper, all archival-rated. As a Perth-based aerial photographer who has shot every image on this site, I've invested in materials that will outlast the trends—your print is an investment in something that lasts.

Canvas and paper prints are low-maintenance. Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight (which fades any print over decades) and humidity extremes. If dust settles on canvas, a soft, dry, lint-free cloth does the job—no cleaners needed. Paper prints benefit from framing behind glass or acrylic, which provides UV protection and makes them virtually maintenance-free. Both formats are designed to age gracefully; many customers report their prints looking exactly as vibrant 10+ years later.

I stand behind every print. If your canvas or paper print arrives damaged, the colors aren't right, or anything doesn't meet your expectations, contact me immediately with photos. I'll remake it or refund you—no questions, no process. This isn't just a returns policy; it's a commitment to your satisfaction. Email matt@matthewphilip.com and we'll resolve it within 48 hours.
